The painting style found in Ajanta Caves is believed to have inspired painting styles in Tibet and Sri Lanka

The main subjects of the paintings found in the caves are Jataka tales and incidences from the life of Lord Buddha
Ajanta Caves were excavated on a rock surface that looks like the horse-shoe shape
The caves are more than two-thousand-year-old, but the statues are about 600 years younger, as they were added later
Ajanta Caves were abandoned post the end of Harisena’s reign. The sign was later covered in dense forest.
Buddha has always been against painting or carving his images, as he preached the lesson to rise above materialistic wishes. But after he died, his followers realized the need for his sculptures and paintings, so that they had something to look up to.
